30. How could one chase a thousand and two put ten thousands to flight if their strong One had not sold them, and the Lord had not delivered them up?
31. For their strong one is not as our strong One, and even our enemies are judges of this.
32. Therefore, their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are very bitter.
33. Their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps.
34. Do I not have this laid up in store, sealed up in my treasuries?
35. Vengeance and recompense are mine, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their calamity is at hand and that which is determined upon them makes haste.
36. For the Lord shall judge his people and repent himself for his slaves when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left.
37. And he shall say, Where are their gods, their strong one in whom they trusted,
38. who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39. See now that I, I am he, and there are no gods with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and there is not one that can deliver out of my hand.
